OK, since you'll have to learn this regardless, you're going to do a search here on this website on Subtractive Synthesis...you'll come up with some threads that'll have links or the information right in there. You're going to read EVERYTHING about the synthesis and make sure you understand it...it's very simple and easy to grasp. Then you open Reason 2.5, create a Mixer and a Subtractor. Subtractor will have the basic saw waveform loaded already, so all you have to do is start tweaking with what you learned from Subtractive Synthesis and once you have the basic sound you like, create a Unison right under the Subtractor. Create a Delay under the Unison and if you want a Digital Reverb or RV7000 under the Delay to make it sound better and more live. You have there what's needed to make a saw lead...just tweak away according to what you learned. For the background sound you said, that's a square wave...very simple and you can do it with Subtractor also. You pretty much don't have to do anything to make it sound like the one in the song...just add reverb, delay, or anything else you want to make it sound good. EXPERIMENT...that's the key!
